Want to do more to help students recognize evolution as the overarching concept of biology and not just an end-of-semester topic? Use this guide to locate resources that will help you incorporate evolution into different subjects in Introductory Biology. Photosynthesis, transcription, translation, physiology, and many other topics can all be taught with an evolutionary "twist." You may not want to relate every class topic to evolution, but doing this just a few times throughout the semester can make a big impression on students and reinforce key evolutionary concepts.

Click on the topics below to see relevant evolution teaching resources for that topic, and choose the resource that fits your class best. You will find:

Short slide sets to be incorporated into lectures

Classroom and lab activities for classes of different sizes

Online activities and labs

Research profiles, Evo in the News articles, and other articles for students to read

Some of the topics have no resources associated with them yet. We are still looking for good resources that connect evolution to these subject areas. Send us an email to suggest a resource for inclusion on the syllabus.
